Well, not really, but I want to try and talk about how awesome Twitter is.

Think back… ten years even. You are a BIG fan of… Hanson. Or whoever. How do you contact them?

Well, you can send them a letter through the mail. Or maybe they have a cool little guestbook on their website. You can leave them a comment there, and it’ll sit there with all the spambots. Maybe a few days later, they’ll upload a new .html file to their website with a generic response “Hey fans, we love you too! ~Hanson”

Now, we have Twitter. You want to tell Justin Bieber you’re in love with him?

Type this “@justinbieber I LOVE YOU! FOLLOW ME PLEASE <3" and just maybe, ten minutes later, "RT @yourname @justinbieber I LOVE YOU! FOLLOW ME PLEASE <3 == FOLLOWED. Love you too!!" will appear on Justin's Twitter.

Warner Brothers hosts an HOUR long contest, during which they get hundreds of entries. All you have to do is say "@HarryPotterFilm I'd probably be a Hufflepuff, because I'm one of those that Helga would just take, cuz no one else was interested :P" and you win.

Twitter has taken the world from living minute-to-minute to living second-by-second. So much happens - just watch the trending topics - and it's easy as pie to follow it all.

The reason I'm talking about this is because yesterday, I sent a message to these people and they ALL replied.
@jamesarobb - a teen singer from the UK. I let him know his layout had a problem, and he thanked me for it.
@gudmagazine - asked their followers what was up... and I answered. We ended up talking about eBooks vs real books
@haperkins - Has a book coming out in the future, and we talked about it (and how hard it was for me to find info haha) and she said I should go to bed, cuz I had been up so long.

And then randomly, I get followed by @therealsnichols, who's a PUBLISHED author. She's got a period book (admittedly, not my thing, but I may check it out nonetheless) which is sold on Amazon. And today we’ve been talking about Hanson.

Who, by the way, now have a Twitter. So if you want to let them know you love ‘em, you can message @hansonmusic – so go and have fun. @therealsnichols is also sending me some of their music. I’m excited to hear their new stuff.

Oh, and Justin? He let his fans know via his Twitter that the Baby music video will be available tomorrow. Fucking yes.

Wow, in the past two days, two of the big twitter accounts have mentioned me.

@HarryPotterFilm Congrats to our winners, @AdorkablyAngie, @aredmoon, @HPfan21 and @Elmo33! Winners, please send us your email addresses.

Because I won the contest. :D
@aRedMoon @HarryPotterFilm I’d probably be a Hufflepuff, because I’m one of those that Helga would just take, cuz no one else was interested :P

@Anime @aredmoon doesn’t like our “Spam tweets” (not sure if he means the “word from our sponsors,” or the tease tweets), what do you think?
(Over 2,000 followers)

Because I complained about their “Sponsor” shit.
@aRedMoon@Anime Not cool. Spam tweets are not cool at all.

So I posted this just now…
@aRedMoonOh wow, @anime noticed my grr at spam tweets. XD @anime I meant the “Words from our sponsors” which is lame. I follow for news, not adverts

The funny thing is that I don’t even follow @anime… XD;
